Cant believe this, another pointless, boring episode... Baseball game with americans, wtf?
I hope last 3 eps are not that bad... :(((

Oh ? As for me, I loved this episode, the sensation not to be taken seriously. I think in any case that it is one of the funniest of the series ! =P The end is great ! ^^

agree. way much better than 22 filler.
mugen was hilarious xD
this whole episode was hilarious x3

This episode was completely pointless, yet I loved it! It was so funny, and the whole non-continuity is hilarious. However, I hope the last 3 episodes have plot, since it is the end of the series :(

Pointless - Yeah
Fun to watch - Hell Yeah~

I love those 3. lol

When rewatching Samurai Champloo I always omit episodes 22 and 23. Total filler that takes away from a great series.

i agree with both of you.a hilarious episode

Its hard to find non-'filler' in the first place with Champloo. You should just accept every episode really, infact, in a weird way this is more 'canon' if you will, than other episodes, because the whole hook behind Champloo is the melding of modern and historic and you cant get more juxtoposition than Americans playing baseball against Japanese.

Champloo was never about a narrative we're meant to follow, and its almost not even like Bebop with characters driving the show. Champloo is just a random remix of Japan itself; past and present. Watanabe has the sense to end the show with character interactions and conflict but we as viewers shouldnt feel bored when they're not on their flimsy 'mission', we're just observers of a unique representation of Japan really.

Heh, this is funny. I consider Episode 23 not only one of the best episodes in a masterpiece of a series (Samurai Champloo), I consider it one of the absolute best episodes in anime history. It is an absolutely funny, brilliant gem of an episode. I challenge anyone to name me a single anime episode, from any series, that is funnier than this one.

Hell, have any of you ever seen the classic Shaolin Soccer by Stephen Chow? The 23rd episode of Samurai Champloo is a baseball version of the same, except understandably shorter, but every bit as hilarious.

What's wrong with you fan boys?
This episode almost made me stop watching the show....

This show is all about the filler

If you cannot accept that, then stop watching it.....

Seriously.

Eyn, if you can name something you disliked about that episode, go for it. (And no, "anachronistic comedy" doesn't count, since that's 60 percent of the entire series) Otherwise, shut up.

i thought this episode was hillarious and was especially good compared to 22 =P

Hilarious. Second best episode so far. Better than the rugby Fumoffu episode. 5/5

So if people don't agree with your level of enjoyment of the episode, they're just fanboys who love anything Champloo-related? Grow up.

wow pretty controversial. well i didnt mind there being a filler, and it was quite a gd one cos it was pretty funny, but i guess it was a little unnecessary and didnt fit in with all the other episodes. they should have made 22 and 23 OVAs/extra DVD episodes.

I felt like this episode would have fit better earlier in the series. It seems a little weird to have it at the end. :/

LMAO

I laughed throughout the ENTIRE episode.
Lmfao, the way they portray Americans was just BRILLIANT.
The way the American guy spoke Japanese was ****ing hilarious

Oh man, and Jin owned so much LOL

~Abs

Man this was one to remember, those hardcore fanboys whining about "This filler sucked *****" sure don't know entertainment. And lol at the end.

This episode was great!
I've never laughed so much from 1 single episode.
